Large-format Eelgrass Map, 2014-2015, Cape Cod National Seashore
Borelli M. 2019. Large-format Eelgrass Map, 2014-2015, Cape Cod National Seashore
This map shows the extent of eelgrass beds mapped during acoustic surveys completed within and adjacent to the boundaries of Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) from 2014-2015. Full coverage sidescan and partial coverage bathymetry data were collected using an Edgetech 6205 Phase-Measuring Sidescan Sonar. In total, 668 hectares were mapped at primarily 20 – 40 meter line spacing and 50 meter swath range to allow overlap of lines.
